Not smoking, regular exercise, not being overweight and eating a Mediterranean-style diet could 'substantially reduce' the risk of early death.

Stunning stuff. And the sub-heads on both front pages begins: 'Experts find key...'

It does seem odd that the Express considers this front page news at all. There were two big news stories on Monday - the political deal on future regulation of the press, and the Cyprus bailout. For such a strongly anti-EU paper as the Express, it's curious that they decided not to lead on events in Cyprus, and chose this instead.

Well, they're not really anti-EU are they? They don't like the social contract, workers' rights and statutory privacy implications of European membership, but they're delighted at the opportunity for its institutions to be hijacked by the wealthy and powerful. They're hardly going to bash the EU for doing exactly what they want.

What does Jo Willey have on the owner and editor of the Express? She makes a living writing these shoddy articles, which are usually just blowing tiny details out of proportion. I know that they aren't any worse that the equivalents in many other tabloids but these somehow get on the front page!
